olorado Resources (TSXV: CXO) is preparing for a $4-million exploration program this year that should increase its stake in Seabridge Gold’s (TSX: SEA; NYSE: SA) KSP copper-gold property in northwestern B.C.’s Golden Triangle district.

The program, comprised of 7,500 metres of drilling at the project’s Inel gold prospect, would bring Colorado’s interest in the 305 sq. km property from 51% to 80%.

Seabridge acquired KSP — along with the adjacent Iskut copper-gold property — after buying junior explorer SnipGold for $20 million last June.

“The market has improved drastically since we first optioned the property from SnipGold in 2011,”

“THE MONEY IS BACK.” ADAM TRAVIS PRESIDENT AND CEO, COLORADO RESOURCES

Adam Travis, president and CEO of Colorado, tells The Northern Miner during a phone interview.

“The money is back and we’re going to do the work that’s necessary to earn 80% in what we believe is the best half of Seabridge’s Iskut property.”

Much like Iskut, KSP has the hallmarks of hosting multiple, kilometre-scale porphyry systems at depth, including epithermal gold and silver deposits that extend outwards from the intrusion-related orebodies.

Over 100 sq. km of Colorado’s property is covered with a gossanous lithocap, a zone of clay-

silica-iron alteration, which is a product of hydrothermal fluids escaping through the carapace of a porphyry system.

The gossan, which carries over 0.1 gram gold per tonne in soil samples, is one of the largest seen in the Golden Triangle, a district that hosts Seabridge’s 10.2 billion lb. copper and 38.8 million oz. gold KSM porphyry camp, and Pretium Resources’ (TSX: PVG; NYSE: PVG) 9.1 million oz. Brucejack epithermal gold deposit.

“When you’re looking out at this thing you know there must be a truly impressive engine sitting behind it,” Travis says. “KSP has all the right geology to host another Brucejack or KSM, or both. What we’re controlling is a district, not just a property.”

Most of Colorado’s past drilling at KSP has focused on Inel, See COLORADO / 2

Top-five gold hits DRILL RESULTS From 1

The company has reported encouraging results from its ongoing 400,000-metre program, which includes definition, expansion and exploration drilling on the greater deposit and Urban-Barry project area. It is increasing the drill rigs to 25, from 21.

On May 3, Osisko unveiled stellar intercepts from the Caribou corridor. Infill hole 820 returned 2.5 metres (from 617 metres) grading 936 grams gold per tonne (or 2,340 metres × grams gold per tonne). The interval includes a bonanza-grade intercept of 4,620 grams gold over a half-metre.

Mineralization has “3% to 4% pyrite in stringers hosted in a strongly bleached andesitic rock,” Osisko says, adding that gold was visible in a carbonate-chlorite vein.

Hole 820 is 90 metres east from the previously reported hole 766W1, which hit 5.8 metres of 15.6 grams gold.

Osisko plans to update Windfall Lake’s resource this year, before completing a prefeasibility study in the second half of 2018. Construction should begin in 2019, subject to permitting.

The project hosts 748,000 indicated oz. (2.76 million tonnes at 8.42 grams gold) and 860,000 inferred ounces (3.5 million tonnes at 7.62 grams gold).

2. Wallbridge Mining, Fenelon project, Quebec Wallbridge Mining (TSX: WM) published results from its first drill program on its wholly owned Fenelon gold property in Quebec, 75 km northwest of the town of Matagami. The assays, released on April 18, surpassed company expectations and confirmed the resource expansion potential on the property.

Wallbridge began Fenelon’s exploration drill program this March. To date, it has drilled nine holes totalling 1,573 metres. Five of these holes

hit significant gold mineralization, with drill hole 7 returning the best intervals.

Hole 7 intersected three mineralized zones, including 7.1 metres (from 122 metres) of 149.1 grams gold (or 1,053 metres × grams gold per tonne), with a higher-grade sub-interval of 3.7 metres of 281.30 grams gold. The gold grades are uncapped.

Wallbridge notes it will resume drilling once the wet spring conditions subside.

Earlier this year, the company tabled a positive prefeasibility study on how it could mine the known reserves within 100 metres from surface and near the existing ramp for an initial 18-month mine life.

Estimated initial construction costs are $5.2 million.

The junior expects to make a bulk sample and production decision later this year.

On May 16, Wallbridge raised $1 million in the first tranche of a non-brokered private placement to help fund its exploration efforts.

3. Barkerville Gold Mines, Cariboo project, British Columbia Barkerville Gold Mines (TSXV: BGM) is carrying out a 130,000-metre, phase-two Island Mountain exploration and delineating drill program at its f lagship Cariboo gold project near Quesnel, British Columbia.

The program aims to determine the extent of the historically unexplored vein systems, as well as find vein systems and sulphide replacement deposits that will form a maiden resource estimate at Island Mountain.

On April 17, Barkerville reported hitting high-grade stockworks at the Island Mountain Shaft Zone. Drill hole 72 discovered a “network of high-tenor veining” of 54.4 metres grading 19.2 grams gold (or 1,044.5 metres × grams gold per tonne).

The interval included 30.7 metres of 32.06 grams (or 984 metres × grams gold per tonne), plus other

high-grade hits, such as 760 grams gold over 0.9-metre and 272 grams gold over half a metre.

The Cariboo project also hosts the Cow and Barkerville Mountains. The company plans to start underground production at the Bonanza Ledge mine on the Barkerville Mountain deposit in the third quarter of 2017.

It will process the material at the company’s QR milling facility, 110 km south.

The Bonanza Ledge mine is permitted to produce up to 150,000 tonnes per day and has an initial three-year mine life, with the BC Vein expected to increase this.

4. Alexandria Minerals, Orenada project, Quebec Alexandria Minerals (TSXV: AZX; US-OTC: ALXDF) published promising assay results from its Orenada property in Val d’Or, Que. On May 10, it highlighted stepout hole 100 — drilled below the open pit at Zone 4 — and cut several high-grade gold veins and their associated alteration envelopes between 39.3 metres and 256 metres deep, intersecting 217 metres of 2.84 grams gold (or 1,044.5 metres × grams gold per tonne). The interval included other high-grade assays,

such as 13.9 metres of 9 grams gold, including 5 metres of 16.23 grams gold and 15.4 metres of 6.29 grams gold.

Hole 100 has returned the best results to date at Zone 4. It increased the gold mineralization strike length west of the current resource and deepened it 100 metres — to 256 metres deep.

Alexandria is waiting for assay results from 22 holes, including 10 step-out holes west of the pit.

The recently completed holes at Zone 4 are from the company’s initial round of drilling to test for south-dipping veins, with focus on the upper 250 metres of depth.

The 11,000-metre winter program includes infill drilling the current resource area and step-out drilling west and east of the current resources.

In 2009, the company completed a resource estimate on Orenada zone 2 and 4 that indicated a nearsurface deposit less than 250 metres deep, with 361,395 oz. gold in measured and indicated resources and a 175,596 oz. inferred resource.

a historic gold showing located 15 km southeast of Skeena Resources’ (TSXV: SKE; US-OTC: SKREF) historical 1 million oz. Snip gold mine.

Colorado drilled over 7,800 metres last year — its largest drill program at KSP — targeting Inel’s Discovery and AK zones, which were explored in the 1980s and early 1990s, with 17,500 metres of drilling from 1,240 metres of underground drives.

The company delivered results up to 165.5 grams gold over 1 metre, confirming the historical high-grade intercepts, but also found broad halos of lower-grade gold mineralization measuring 99 metres of 2.11 grams gold, with most of the gold in a 1-metre subinterval grading 138 grams gold.

“We started where previous

explorers left off, and everything we’ve seen suggests that we’re just scratching the tip of the iceberg at Inel,” Travis says.

The 2016 drilling tested a 300by 600-metre area within a 1 by 1.5 km soil geochemical anomaly that averages 1.27 grams gold. The rest of the soil anomaly, which holds nine target areas, is largely untested.

gold (TSX: IMG; NYSE: IAG) are advancing the Monster Lake gold project, 50 km southwest of Chibougamau, Quebec.

On May 11, TomaGold and Iamgold reported assay results from the first 11 holes (5,100 metres) that Iamgold drilled at Monster Lake.

The results are part of the 24-hole program, totalling 10,657 metres, completed recently.

Hole 194 intersected 3.1 metres of true width grading 121.67 grams gold (or 377 metres × grams gold per tonne) from 339 metres. The interval included 1.1 metres of 316.9 grams gold.

Another interesting hole returned 4.4 metres of true width grading 5.21 grams gold, including 1.3 metres of 15.99 grams.

The partners should release the rest of the results shortly. They project completing a maiden resource estimate by year-end.

TomaGold holds 45% of Monster Lake, while Iamgold has a 50% interest and an option to increase its stake to 75% by spending another $10 million on the project over seven years, starting from 2015. Junior Quinto Real Capital (TSXV: QIT) owns the remaining 5% interest. TNM

surveys, completed by Colorado last year, defined a chargeability high that extends to the west from previous drilling.

“The data suggests there’s a potentially large sulphide-bearing system to the west where there’s a contact with an intrusive, so we’ll focus on that area in drilling this year,” Travis says.

“When you’re working in the Golden Triangle, everyone expects you to drill a discovery hole like hole 109 at Eskay Creek,” he says.

(Hole 109 delivered 208 metres of 27.2 grams gold, 30.3 grams silver, 1.1% lead and 2.3% zinc.)

“But it’s important to remember there were 108 holes completed before that. I don’t think the public has a full appreciation of how mines are made. It takes time and a lot of hard work, but in a district like this, persistence certainly pays off.”

Colorado shares have traded in a 52-week range of 18¢ to 71¢, and closed at 27¢ at press time. The company has 96.3 million shares outstanding for a $24.6-million market capitalization. TNM

Newmont takes 19.9% stake in Continental Gold COLOMBIA

| Major drawn to multimillion-ounce Buritica gold project

BY TRISH SAYWELL

I

tsaywell@northernminer.com

n what will be Newmont Mining’s (NYSE: NEM) first investment in Colombia, the gold and copper producer is plunking down US$109 million for a 19.9% stake in Continental Gold (TSX: CNL) to get a piece of the junior’s high-grade, fully permitted Buritica gold project.

Newmont’s foray into the South American nation follows the company’s decision in March to get its first toehold in the Yukon, where it is investing an initial US$39.5 million in Goldstrike Resources (TSXV: GSR), a junior that owns the Plateau gold project.

Under the deal with Continental Gold, Newmont has agreed to buy 37.4 million shares in a nonbrokered private placement at $4 per share — a 46% premium to Continental’s closing share price the day before the investment agreement was announced.

Gary Goldberg, Newmont’s president and CEO, said in a press release that Newmont is “impressed with the quality of the deposit, the caliber of the management team, the community’s support for the project and the prospects for future growth.”

Concurrently with the Newmont investment, RK Mine Finance Master Fund I Ltd., also known as Red Kite, bought 8.59 million shares at the same price per share for a 4.6% stake, generating proceeds for Continental of US$25 million.

(Red Kite had committed to the investment previously as part of a larger debt-financing package.)

Buritica is on track to pour its first gold in early 2020, and Continental Gold says it can capitalize on Newmont’s experience to kick off formal construction later this year.

Newmont and Continental will also form joint-management technical, exploration and sustainability committees, and the major will get one seat on the junior’s board of directors. In addition, the companies will form a strategic alliance to evaluate partnership opportunities on Continental’s other properties in Colombia.

Newmont’s deep experience in South America makes it a great partner for Continental, the junior says. Newmont operates the continent’s largest gold mine — Yanacocha, in Peru — which started commercial production in 1993, along with the Merian gold mine in Suriname.

Newmont’s Merian mine achieved commercial production in October 2016, on time and $150 million below budget, and the company expects it will deliver more than a decade of profitable production.

South America accounts for 8% of Newmont’s attributable gold production (not including anticipated production from Merian in 2017), and the region contains 9% of the company’s gold reserves.

Continental says it is now fully funded to build an underground mine at Buritica for US$389 million.

A feasibility study released in February 2016 envisioned that the capex could be paid back in 2.3 years in a base-case scenario, using a US$1,200 per oz. gold price and US$15 per oz. silver price.

The mine is expected to produce 3.49 million recovered oz. gold and 6.43 million oz. silver over a 14year mine life. Life-of-mine annual production will average 253,000 oz. gold and 466,000 oz. silver.

Continental says total cash costs of US$411 per oz. gold, including silver credits, will put Buritica in the lowest cash-cost quartile globally. Life-of-mine average operating costs are expected to come in at US$111.59 per tonne milled, including royalty, doré transport and refining charges.

Buritica’s maiden reserve for the project’s Yaragua and Veta Sur veins totals 3.7 million oz. gold and 10.7 million oz. silver in 13.7 million tonnes grading 8.4 grams gold per tonne, and 24.3 grams silver per tonne.

The study estimated the basecase, after-tax net present value at a 5% discount rate of US$0.9 billion, and a 31.2% post-tax internal rate of return.

“We’re always looking for opportunities and assets that will fit our profile in the sense that they are efficient, long-life, low cost and have low or manageable risk,” Newmont’s group executive of corporate communications Omar Jabara says. “We feel that Buritica fits those criteria quite nicely. Continental has a good, strong management team — they’ve done a good job of bringing this project along to this point — and we look forward to playing a role in supporting them and bringing our project-development expertise

and success to help further advance Buritica and achieve commercial production.”

Jabara adds that Continental has held Buritica since 2007 and the project “has good support from the local community,” and that the company employs nearly 200 people in the area.

At the end of April, Continental updated investors on the project, noting that since getting a seniorsecured debt facility in January, management has been ordering long lead time equipment and hiring key project personnel ahead of major earthworks scheduled later this year.

The company has completed the first phase of a 6 km access road connecting Buritica to the future plant and infrastructure site in the Higabra Valley. The second phase of the access road, which will upgrade it to accommodate plant and infrastructure equipment deliveries, is expected in the fourth quarter.

Clear-cutting sites in the Higabra Valley to accommodate the plant and surrounding infrastructure is 55% complete, management said, and should be finished in the fourth quarter.

Site excavation is scheduled to start in the third quarter, followed by initial concrete pours in the fourth quarter. This work will be completed by the end of 2018.

About 30% of the underground mine development equipment is expected to arrive in the third quarter.

Continental also said that beginning in the third quarter, two mechanized long-hole stopes — each measuring 25 metres along strike by 15 metres high — will be mined in sequence nearly 30 metres vertically in the Hanging Wall vein.

The company says the extraction of more trial mining stopes this year and additional long-hole stopes planned during the construction phase will help train employees, while providing reserve reconciliation data with actual mining results.

Last year, the company reported that two side-by-side mechanized long-hole stopes found twice the gold grade and twice the ounces of gold when reconciled with the mineral resource model.

Meanwhile, Continental says it will resume exploration drilling in the second quarter with a minimum 12,000-metre drill program. The drill program will be the company’s first in the last two years.

The Buritica project encompasses an aggregate area of 699.8 sq. km in northwestern Colombia’s Antioquia Department. It is located in the middle Cauca belt and is a twohour drive on the Pan-American highway from Medellin, Colombia’s second-largest city.

News of Newmont’s investment

sent Continental’s shares up 32.5% to $3.63 in mid-afternoon trading.

The company has traded in a 52-week range of $2.32 per share to $5.75 per share. It has 142 million shares outstanding for a $515-million market capitalization.

In a research note, Brian Quast of BMO Capital Markets said Newmont’s strategic investment is “positive” and “a major vote of confidence for Buritica.” The mining analyst kept his “outperform” rating on the stock and gave a $6.50-per-share target price. TNM

Canadian miners knock it out of the park in London CONFERENCE

| Auspicious start for TNM’s inaugural Canadian Mining Symposium

T

he Northern Miner, in association with the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada, set out to shine a spotlight on Canada’s mining industry for European and U.K. investors with our inaugural Canadian Mining Symposium held at the Canada House in London, U.K., on May 9. And as our team returns from

BY JOHN CUMMING jcumming@northernminer.com across the pond and we get feedback from participants, we’re finding wide agreement that it was a top-quality event filled with memorable discussions and plenty of new contacts and business leads.

Canada House itself proved an exceptional locale for such a meeting, with its central location, superb décor, airport-level security and extremely helpful and gracious staff, who are genuinely enthusiastic about fulfilling their mandate to promote Canadian business overseas.

About 200 high-level executives and investors attended — a good number from London, but many also flying in from around the globe.

Jim Carr, Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources, welcomed attendees to Canada House via a video greeting, while Janice Charette, Canada’s High Commissioner to the U.K., and Glenn Mullan, president of the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada, opened the day’s events in person.

Our marquee speakers delivered thought-provoking interviews, startinmg with Barrick Gold president Kelvin Dushnisky, who told moderator Bill Whitelaw, executive vice-president at Glacier Media, that Barrick in past years had “lost its way in some senses” by “chasing production and the number of ounces, rather than the quality of ounces,” and having too high a debt. He said Barrick’s restructuring over the past two and a half years has “returned discipline back into the business.” Most importantly, he said, Barrick has returned to a streamlined, decentralized operating model that has been “very effective.”

Northern Miner publisher Anthony Vaccaro presented Ivanhoe Mines executive chairman and founder Robert Friedland with a Lifetime Achievement Award, and then sat down with the mining mogul to get his views on future demand for metals. Friedland said it will be shaped by increasing demand for clean air and water, especially in urban areas, “which is very good for certain raw materials” such as vanadium, scandium, cobalt, nickel, copper, spherical graphite, lithium, aluminum and what he calls the “king of all metals,” copper.

“We have to think about what a 10% drop in demand for oil will mean for the price of oil,” Friedland said. “We’re in an era of very fundamental and very profound change.” Cars and trucks and trains are going to be made out of aluminum alloys that are cheap and easy to recycle, and that, he said, will be “not so good for iron ore.”

Friedland sees disruptive technology coming to mining, such as traditional, energy-intensive milling being replaced with electromagnetic pulse technology that would consume 1% of the energy.

“What a great time to be alive, to change mining and reperceive it.”

Lukas Lundin, chairman of the Lundin Group of Companies, sat down with moderator Gianni Kovacevic, executive chairman of CopperBank, for a freewheeling talk on the wide range of commodities being pursued by Lundin-linked companies. “As I grew up, oil was always a question of supply, but now it’s a question of demand … and oil may slow down a bit,” Lundin said. “But base metals are probably going to remain strong, especially copper, if you think about all these electric cars. Base metals are a good space to be in.”

The diamond mining business, Lundin said, is “very complicated and I don’t know much about it,” and described his success with Lucara Diamond as having been “a bit of luck.”

Barrick’s Dushnisky returned to the stage in the afternoon with Goldcorp CEO David Garofalo to discuss how Canadian best practices are moving abroad with moderator Greg Huffman, managing director and global head of mining sales at Canaccord Genuity. Garofalo emphasized that miners need to drastically reduce their water usage if they are to retain local stakeholder approval for mining operations, particularly where they may negatively impact local agriculture.

During two panel sessions, Rob McEwen executive chairman and “chief owner” of McEwen Mining argued for the virtues of making shareholder value the primary concern for gold mining companies.

“There’s a discipline that’s not in the marketplace in the mining industry, and that is insider ownership of shares,” McEwen said. “Too many management teams have too little invested in their company to guide appropriate growth.” TNM

Jean Descarreaux, a Quebec mining icon OBITUARY

| Leader in creating mineral exploration entrepreneurship in Quebec

BY PHILIPPE CLOUTIER Special to The Northern Miner

T

he Quebec mineral exploration community marks the passing of Jean Descarreaux, who has been a monumental inspiration and mentor for generations of geologists and mineral exploration entrepreneurs in Quebec. He died on March 20 in Gatineau, Que., at age 76.

Descarreaux was a graduate of the University of Montreal (B.Sc. in 1964 and M.Sc. in 1967) and earned a PhD from Université Laval in 1973, with a thesis on the geochemistry of the Abitibi’s volcanic rocks.

His consulting career spanned over 50 years and provided exploration and business-development expertise to prospectors, junior exploration and major mining companies, as well as governments in Canada and abroad. As such, he participated in several base metal and gold discoveries, including the Golden Pond and Estrades deposits in Quebec’s Casa Berardi region.

the first chairman for the Université du Québec in AbitibiTémiscamingue, a director of the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada, a director of the Mineral Exploration Research Institute of the University of Montreal and McGill University, and more recently a director of Quebec mineral exploration fund SIDEX. Annually, the AEMQ now offers the Jean Descarreaux Award to

DESCARREAUX CONVINCED PREMIERS RENÉ LÉVESQUE AND JACQUES PARIZEAU TO ADAPT LEGISLATION THAT WOULD ENABLE FLOW-THROUGH SHARES FOR MINERAL EXPLORATION IN QUEBEC. The geoscience community rewarded Descarreaux many times for his fundamental research on the application of lithogeochemistry as a prospecting tool and for his help in developing mining entrepreneurship in Quebec.

Descarreaux was the founding president of Claude Resources in 1980 and cofounder of Cartier Resources, as well as a collaborator in the development of several exploration companies.

He was at the forefront of issues challenging the minerals industry and held positions in public bodies connected to the industry. He instigated f lowt hroug h sha res for mi nera l exploration in Quebec by convincing former premiers René Lévesque and Jacques Parizeau to adapt legislation that would enable this proactive fiscal incentive.

He was a cofounder of the Quebec Prospectors Association (now the Quebec Mineral Exploration Association [AEMQ]),

an individual whose research and publications have helped increase geoscientific knowledge relating to mineral exploration and led to increased exploration activity.

On learning of Descarreaux’s passing, a group of mining and exploration companies formed a scholarship fund in his homage: the Dr. Jean Descarreaux Foundation. It will reward students of the University of Quebec in Abitibi-Témiscamingue annually for their success in establishing new generations of economic developers in the mineral exploration industry.

Descarreaux was a quiet man, a visionary who led many battles with passion, conviction and determination. His contribution to Quebec’s progress in matters of mineral exploration is monumental.

Northern Dynasty, EPA settle dispute over Pebble

ALASKA

| Northern Dynasty to resume permitting at Pebble in Alaska, seeks new partners “BY THE END OF THE YEAR, WE EXPECT TO SUBMIT THE INITIAL DOCUMENTATION NEEDED AND HAVE A PARTNER STANDING BY OUR SIDE.”

BY LESLEY STOKES lstokes@northernminer.com VANCOUVER

N

orthern Dynasty Minerals (TSX: NDM; NYSE-MKT: NAK) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have ended their longstanding dispute over the federal agency’s decision to block development of the company’s Pebble copper-gold deposit, 321 km southwest of Anchorage, Alaska.

The settlement allows the Pebble Ltd. Partnership, a subsidiary of Northern Dynasty, to restart the permitting process, but it does not guarantee that any proposed mine (which is located at the headwaters of the world’s largest sockeye salmon fishery) would win approval.

In return, Northern Dynasty would withdraw its two lawsuits against the EPA, saving the agency from “time-consuming and costly litigation,” Scott Pruitt, the Trump-appointed administrator of the EPA, said in a recent press release.

For Northern Dynasty’s president and CEO, Ron Thiessen, the resolution is a “spectacular achievement.”

“This agreement provides us the runway to an environmental impact study, and that’s the document everyone needs to make a rational decision on whether to proceed with development,” he tells The Northern Miner during a phone interview. “By the end of the year, we expect to submit the initial documentation needed and have a partner standing by our side.”

The project has been stuck in legal limbo since February 2014, when the EPA enacted subsec-

tion 404c of the Clean Water Act, claiming that mining at Pebble would cause “significant near- and long-term risk to salmon, wildlife and Native cultures of Alaska.”

The agency’s decision was based on data presented in its Bristol Bay Watershed Assessment (BBWA) — a US$5-million report that contemplated a number of mining scenarios — rather than Northern Dynasty’s US$115-million, peer-

reviewed environmental baseline study.

“The EPA’s report assumed a mining design that was not of our making, and assumed maximum environmental damage,” Thiessen argues. “If an anti-aircraft group designed an airplane and accused Boeing of wanting to build one, it wouldn’t be fair if the Federal Aviation Administration prohibited Boeing from building airplanes.

We believe that’s what happened to us. All we’re after is a fair permitting process built on our own design.”

Thiessen says the company may propose a smaller operation than the ones initially presented in the project’s 2011 preliminary economic assessment (PEA).

T h at PE A c ont e mpl at e d a 200,000-tonne-per-day operation over 25-, 45- and 75-year mine lives, each with US$4.7 billion in capital expenses. The 75-year mining scenario would result in the mining of 5.9 billion tonnes of ore grading 0.5% copper, 0.31 gram gold per tonne and 0.024% molybdenum, and have a US$6.8-

billion pre-tax net present value, and a 14.5% pre-tax internal rate of return.

“Our PEA was never meant to be final engineering,” Thiessen continues. “The great thing about Pebble is — given its size, scale and location — it has a lot of optionality. At the west end of the deposit you can mine for a dozen years without hardly any waste, whereas in the east, you can sink a shaft and take 1–2% copper equivalent out, and there will be no waste. We’ll be looking at a smaller footprint, and we’ll have far more environmental safeguards than what was presented in the EPA’s report.”

As per the agreement, Northern Dynasty must file permit applications in the next 30 months, and the U.S. Army Corps has four years to file their environmental impact statement (EIS) on the project.

BANKABLE GOLD EXPERTISE For over 75 years in Canada, our bankable gold expertise has been providing mining companies with a comprehensive understanding of their deposit, ore variability and optimized flowsheet design best suited for processing.

The EPA would then decide whether Pebble should proceed with development using the results of the EIS, and not the BBWA. Thiessen says his company is now in discussions “with a number of potential partners,” and could form a consortium to develop the mine.

One-time partners Rio Tinto (NYSE: RIO; LON: RIO) and Anglo American (US-OTC: AAUKF; LON: AAL) each backed out of the controversial project several years ago.

“We’re completely financed for this year, but we aren’t financed for permitting, and that’s why we’re looking for a partner,” Thiessen says. “We have a lot of potential partners looking at a number of different mining alternatives at Pebble, and any of them could come on at any moment.” TNM

Ghana-focused miner Asanko Gold (TSX: AKG; NYSE-MKT: AKG) has swung back into the black with 2017 first-quarter earnings of US$7.8 million, or US4¢ per share, beating average analysts’ expectations of a cent per share.

“We had a strong start to the year with a record quarterly production of 58,187 ounces. And, importantly, we have returned to positive earnings,” Peter Breese, the company’s president and CEO, said on a recent conference call. Asanko recorded a US2¢-per-share loss in the fourth quarter of 2016.

During the three months ended in March, the producer sold 57,812 oz. from its Asanko gold mine in Ghana, which entered commercial production last April. It generated US$69.3 million in revenue at an average realized gold price of US$1,199 per ounce.

All-in sustaining costs, however, moved up to US$956 per oz. from US$893 per oz. in the previous quarter, as Asanko accelerated the tailings dam lift.

The lift started a quarter ahead of schedule because the plant has been running 20% above design for the second quarter, Breese noted, adding that the “sustaining capex has impacted our all-in sustaining costs for the quarter.”

Cash provided by operating activities before working capital changes was US$28.8 million, or US14¢ per share, ahead of the consensus analyst estimates of US11¢ per share.

While analysts applauded the decent quarter, many are waiting for Asanko’s new life-of-mine plan and expansion feasibility study.

“It is difficult to benchmark performance in the absence of a more detailed mine plan based on current reserves. As a result, we expect delivery of the expansion feasibility, scheduled for this quarter, to be a catalyst,” BMO analyst Andrew Breichmanas writes.

An updated 2017 reserve statement shows that the 11 deposits at the Asanko mine host 96.2 million tonnes at 1.58 grams gold per tonne for 4.88 million ounces.

The company has largely been mining the Nkran deposit to feed the 3-million-tonne-per-year plant that is operating at 3.6 million tonnes a year.

The mine is on track to churn out 230,000 to 240,000 oz. gold in 2017, with Asanko aiming to reach

450,000 oz. per year by 2020. It plans to achieve that by bringing the Esaase deposit — which hosts more than half of reserves, into production, while improving the current plant infrastructure over two stages.

The first stage, dubbed Project 5 Million, will expand the plant from the current 3.6 million to 5 million tonnes per year. Estimated capital costs are between US$25 million and US$30 million, with Asanko aiming to fund this internally.

“Construction work on Project 5 Million began in April and is ahead of schedule,” Breese said, noting that commissioning should start in late 2017. As a result, this should lead to higher production of 270,000 to 300,000 oz. a year in 2018, and lower all-in sustaining costs.

The executive said building the conveyor belt at Esaase will take 18 months and cost up to US$110 million.

As Asanko prepares to bring Esaase online in 2019, it will feed the upgraded plant with ore from the Nkran deposit and satellite deposits.

Following regulatory approvals and drilling success the company accelerated its plan to mine Akwasiso in June 2017, instead of early 2018. Mining at the Dynamite Hill deposit should start in the first quarter of 2018.

Given Nkran’s history of “pit wall failures,” the company has developed a 1.6-million-tonne stockpile and introduced measures “to predict events and mitigate production disruptions,” Raymond James analyst Chris Thompson writes.

The second expansion stage, named Project 10 Million, will double the plant capacity to 10 million tonnes a year with a 5-milliontonne-per-year carbon-in-leach plant.

At that time, the company expects to increase mining at Esaase to 7 million tonnes a year, with the other 3 million tonnes coming from Nkran and the surrounding pits.

Estimated costs for this expansion stage is US$210 million to US$220 million.

Asanko, which plans to fund both expansions internally, cautions it may delay Project 10 Million until it generates enough liquidity.

Asanko ended the quarter with US$48 million in cash and US$156 million in debt. It received another US$10.6 million in gold sales and US$15 million from value-added tax receivables after the quarter ended, Thompson writes. TNM

sisko Mining’s (TSX: OSK) 400,000-metre drill program at its Windfall project in Quebec should lead to a resource update before year-end, a feasibility study and permitting in 2018, and construction in 2019, president and CEO John Burzynski announced at The Northern Miner’s Canadian Mining Symposium in London.

“We could pour gold as early as 2020,” Burzynski said during a presentation at the one-day mining event at Canada House on May 9. “It’s an aggressive time frame … we’ve got an aggressive program, with lots of drills and more drills coming.”

Twenty-two drill rigs are turning at the project and Osisko will have 25 rigs by the start of June, in what is easily the largest drill program on any one deposit in Canada, and arguably the largest anywhere in the world.

“We started with a 50,000-metre drill program in October 2015, increased that to 100,000, and then to 150,000 and last December we added 250,000,” Burzynski said. “You’ll likely see us increasing that drill program again because all the current metres are going within the main deposit, and outside the main deposit we have another proximate 3,300 sq. km that has similar exploration potential.”

The company consists of essentially the same management team, engineers and geologists, as well many of the same directors, who were responsible for putting the Canadian Malartic mine into production — the largest gold mine in Canada. The mine moved from first drill hole to first gold pour in a little over six years, but was taken over in a bidding war that culminated in a $4-billion offer from Agnico Eagle Mines (TSX: AEM; NYSE: AEM) and Yamana Gold (TSX:YRI; NYSE: AUY) in 2014.

Today’s Osisko wants to repeat the success it had at Canadian Malartic and become an intermediate mining company. Since acquiring its flagship Windfall project from Eagle Hill Resources two years ago, it has expanded the project’s footprint from its predecessor’s November 2014 resource estimate. That estimate outlined an indicated resource of 748,000 oz. (2.76 million tonnes grading 8.42 grams gold per tonne) and an inferred resource of 860,000 ounces (3.51 million oz. grading 7.62 grams gold per tonne).

“You’ll often hear me say that we believe we have a footprint for a 3 million oz. deposit,” Burzynski said.

“We have a tremendous system here.”

Windfall is 200 km northeast of Val-d’Or and 115 km east of the town of Lebel-sur-Quévillon, and lies within the Urban-Barry greenstone belt in the eastern part of the Abitibi subprovince.

The greenstone belt has an east–west extent of 135 km and is 4 to 20 km wide.

The wholly owned project is one of the highest-grade, resource-stage gold projects in Canada. Most min-

ldorado Gold (TSX: ELD; NYSE: EGO) is set to establish a Canadian foothold with a cash-and-share bid for Integra Gold (TSXV: ICG; US-OTC: ICGQF) and its historic Lamaque gold project in Val-d’Or, Quebec.

Integra investors will have an option to receive $1.2125 per share in cash, Eldorado shares or a combination of both. The offer equates to a 46% premium to Integra’s 20day, volume-weighted average price.

The total transaction value is $590 million and Integra shareholders could own up to 10% pro-rata equity interest in the combined company.

The maximum cash payable by Eldorado would be $129 million, or 25% of the total consideration.

Lamaque hosts indicated resources of 5.1 million tonnes grading 9.13 grams gold per tonne for 1.5 million contained oz., and 3.5 million inferred tonnes at 7.94 grams gold for 897,000 contained ounces. The resource estimates assume a 5 gram gold cut-off grade. Integra acquired the Sigma-Lamaque mill in late 2014.

Lamaque historically produced 4.5 million oz. and was last in operation in 2012. The Sigma mill has a 2,400-tonne-per-day throughput capacity with a crush, grind and carbon-in-leach circuit.

strike and at depth. Mineralization has been found 30 metres from surface in some areas and as deep as 870 metres in others, with potential to extend mineralization up and down-plunge, and at depth.

Burzynski noted that previous operators at the Windfall property — including Osisko Mining, when it started working on the project — had assumed it was another classic shear-hosted vein deposit, but it’s not. This revelation came in mid2016, while the company was relogging 180,000 metres of core from prior operators, and had started its own drilling.

“Very much like Canadian Malartic was a brand-new deposit style … this is a brand-new model,” the mining executive said. “There is no corollary in the Archean that we are aware of. It’s an intrusive-hosted, pyrite gold stockwork. There are veins associated with the deposit, but those are later mobilizations of later generations of porphyries.”

Once Osisko realized that it was an intrusive event, there were two implications, he said. First, that it was probably a lot more continuous than anyone had thought, and second, that there could be a lot more volume.

“In the past this deposit had a history of people believing that it was discontinuous, largely because previous operators were trying to match As with Bs and Cs with Es, because they didn’t understand the model,” Burzynski said. “But once we realized we were dealing with an intrusive, and reoriented what mineralization belonged to what mineralization, it was clear to us that we were dealing with something that looked almost like the fingers of a hand.”

Now Osisko is working on a series of five porphyries that created the mineralization. There were three later phases of intrusives that pushed mineralization around, “which was some of the smoke that was being chased by some of the earlier operators,” he said. “There were

high-grade, thin veinlets that effectively was remobilization, and if you focused on them, it would be hard to put a resource on, and you’re staying away and missing the larger picture.

“What the previous operators were doing for the first seven or eight years after they made the [Windfall] discovery was that they were drilling the leaves of the tree, and we think we’ve found the main feeder system for this deposit.”

When you’re dealing with a geologic unit, he added, you have a much larger volume to host your mineralization. “The fellows working on the project for the prior years were also convinced that there was no potential for the deposit to extend to the northeast,” he added. “Late last year we started a series of stepout holes on fairly aggressive 200-, 400-, 600-, 800- and 1,000-metre step-outs, all at the same time to try to prove that model, and we hit on every hole.”

The step-out holes have extended the deposit 1,000 metres northeast,

and Osisko is now drilling everything from the 1,000-metre line back to the deposit, while it infill drills the deposit. It started a hole on a 1,400-metre step-out and on a 2,200-metre step-out, and has a 5 km step-out on the go right now.

“We’ve determined the system is much larger than 3 km long, in terms of the intrusive and the alteration,” he says.

The area east of the main deposit also contained what Osisko calls the Lynx deposit, which management says is “a high-grade deposit within a high-grade deposit” that appears to be associated with the main feeder system into the primary deposit. The company has gotten a series of high-grade values at Lynx — things that run up to an ounce or two ounces, or three ounces per tonne — over anywhere from 1 up to 7 or 9 metres.

Assays from Lynx released in early May include 11.7 grams gold per tonne over 7.7 metres and 421 grams gold over 3.7 metres. A third hole returned 4.9 metres grading 10.4 grams gold, including 37.5 grams gold over 1 metre.

“Lynx was discovered with one hole pre-Christmas, and we’ve since put in 25 holes, and it’s giving us spectacular numbers,” Burzynski said. “We have a Lynx 1, a Lynx 2 and a Lynx 3 now, and we jokingly refer to it as our Lynx course … and as we continue to drill northeast, we suspect we will continue to see these Lynx zones.”

The company has also made two other discoveries in the last six months: Fox, west–northwest of the Windfall deposit, and Black Dog, 15 km southwest of Windfall.

“The gold mineralization style at both targets are similar to the intrusion-related mineralization style characteristic of the Windfall target,” Mick Carew of Haywood Securities said in an April research note. “This suggests the presence of a larger intrusion-related, mineralized system at Urban-Barry that may have produced multiple deposits along parallel-trending structures.”

“While we expect the Windfall deposit itself to double in size from the 1.6 million oz. already defined, it is the adjacent targets, including Fox, Lynx and Black Dog, that have caught our attention, suggesting

the Urban-Barry project area could represent a district-scale play in Quebec,” Carew added.

Osisko is restarting work on a ramp that was started in 2007, but then abandoned and allowed to flood. “If they had continued that ramp another 300 metres, they would have ran straight into the main orebody,” Carew noted.

Osisko will start dewatering the ramp in mid-June, which could take two months. After this, it will clean up and continue driving the ramp forward, with the goal of reaching 800 metres deep. At this point, it can bulk-sample to test grade and recoveries, and create underground drill stations to test the lower part of the deposit.

In April, Osisko acquired land 103 km west of Windfall and 11 km from the town of Lebel-sur-Quévillon in Quebec that it says can host a mill complex and process material from the project. The property is next to a Hydro-Québec electric substation, and near a former Domtar pulp and paper mill, with access to a water-pumping station that has enough capacity to meet the needs of a milling complex. “We think that over time, this site would probably save us somewhere between $100 million and $200 million in capex and opex,” Burzynski said.

The Quévillon land package covers volcano-sedimentary Archean greenstones that host a number of gold showings and porphyry igneous intrusions that are of exploration interest. The property includes 30 known gold showings, as well as the historic Osborne-Bell gold deposit.

The deposit will be the focus of new drilling and resource evaluation.

“The old Osborne-Bell deposit had a resource of 1.8 million oz. and we count it as zero in our book, and I would advise you to do the same at this point,” Burzynski said. “But we are going to go through the exercise of looking at that resource and doing our own drilling on it later this year, and will come back and tell you what we really think ... but what we see so far is that the deposit looks very much identical to Windfall — it has the same porphyry mineralization style, the same alteration zones and relatively the same host rock. And what we feel is that we have a parallel belt here with the same potential to host Windfall-style deposits.” TNM

CANADIAN JUNIORS FIRING ON ALL CYLINDERS Snapshot: Promising gold projects from NWT to Newfoundland With gold prices on the upswing and Canada’s stable politics looking ever more appealing, Canada’s junior gold explorers are in the midst of a particularly active year. Here is a quick look at four such companies.

CANADIAN OREBODIES Junior gold explorer Canadian Orebodies (TSXV: CORE) is one of the largest claim holders in the region around Ontario’s Hemlo gold camp.

The company is based in Toronto and led by president and CEO Gord McKinnon and project manager Bruce Mackie. Directors include John Harvey, Christopher Hodgson, Gordon Cyr and Michael Leskovec, while veteran mining execs James Gowans, Mackenzie Watson and Robert Middleton serve on an advisory committee.

Canadian Orebodies’ largest shareholder blocks are Osisko Mining (19.9%), Northfield Capital (14.8%) and management and directors (14.2%) — all partially diluted.

Canadian Orebodies’ landholdings in the Hemlo are divided into two property packages: the 68 sq. km North Limb lode gold and volcanogenic massive sulphide property just north of Barrick Gold’s (TSX: ABX; NYSE: ABX) Hemlo gold mining complex, and Wire Lake’s shear-hosted lode gold property, 3 km east of the Marathon platinum group metals deposit northeast of the town of Marathon on Lake Superior.

$5.2 million in cash.

NIGHTHAWK GOLD Michael Byron-led Nighthawk Gold (TSXV: NHK) is working to revive gold mining in the Indin Lake Archean greenstone belt in the southern Northwest Territories.

Nighthawk has locked up 90% of the entire belt with an 892 sq. km land position that already has an inferred resource estimate of 39.8 million tonnes grading 1.64 grams gold per tonne for 2.1 million contained oz. gold.

Nighthawk’s wholly owned assets in the belt include the historic Colomac gold mine, where mining stopped when its owner Royal Oak Mines went bankrupt in the 1990s.

Royal Oak intermittently mined the Colomac Main deposit from 1990 to 1997 to produce 528,000 oz. gold with an average head grade of 1.66 grams per tonne gold.

However, all mining and processing equipment and infrastructure have been removed from the property.

Nighthawk describes the other deposits at Colomac as relatively “untouched,” with mining only impacting a small part of the mineralized structure’s 9 km strike length.

Shareholders in Nighthawk include Northfield Capital Corp., Kinross Gold, Osisko Royalties and McEwen Mining.

There have been encouraging results from recent metallurgical test that show gold recoveries of up to 96.5% may be achieved and the rock is amenable to all standard gold-recovery technologies.

Nighthawk notes this is a “significant increase in recovery” over the historic production results of 88.1% (1994 to 1997).

Morris Prychidny has just joined

Nighthawk as chairman, with Suzette Ramcharan coming aboard as vice-president of corporate development in March.

PROBE METALS Probe Metals (TSXV: PRB) was spun out of Probe Mines in March 2015 after it was acquired in a $526-million, all-share deal

by Goldcorp, who secured the junior’s Borden gold project west of Timmins, Ontario. Goldcorp’s original 19.7% stake in Probe Metals has since been lowered to 13.9%.

Probe Metals is run by much of the same team that led Probe Mines, including president and CEO David Palmer — who was The Northern Miner’s Mining Person of the Year in 2014 for the Borden discovery.

By acquiring Adventure Gold and doing property deals with

Richmont Mines, Alexandria Minerals and QMX Gold, Probe Metals has assembled 1,000 sq. km of exploration ground in the Vald’Or, Casa-Berardi, Detour-Quebec and West Timmins gold camps of Quebec and Ontario.

Its flagship asset is its Val-d’Or East gold project near Val-d’Or, Que., where resources stand at 9.1 million tonnes grading 2.63 grams gold per tonne for 770,000 contained oz. gold.

In 2017, Probe intends to carry out 75,000 metres of drilling at Val-d’Or East to test the New Beliveau Gold deposit to the west, north and south, as well as along parallel dikes similar to those hosting the past-producing Beliveau gold mine.

Probe is in a strong financial position for the work, having $35 million in cash and investment at last count. TNM

Experience the Progress.

The junior notes that there has been little deep drilling on its two properties, and suggests that Barrick’s renewed commitment to extend the life of its Hemlo operations well into the next decade bodes well for gold companies active in the region.

MARATHON GOLD Toronto-based Marathon Gold (TSX: MOZ) is focused on its wholly owned Valentine Lake gold project in western Newfoundland.

Marathon’s measured and indicated resources in the camp from the Leprechaun, Sprite, Marathon and Victory deposits stand at 22.6 million tonnes grading 1.91 grams gold per tonne for 1.4 million contained oz. gold.

In the inferred category there are another 10.7 million tonnes at 2.24 grams gold for 766,500 contained oz. gold.

Metallurgical tests show 93% to 98% recoveries via conventional milling and 50% to 70% recoveries via heap leaching at the Leprechaun and Marathon deposits.

Marathon plans on carrying out 30,000 metres of drilling at the project this year, and says only a tenth of Valentine’s 20 km gold trend has been looked at in detail.

Marathon describes the Valentine Lake gold camp as accessible by year-round roads and near Newfoundland’s electrical grid.

Marathon has a 50-person, allseason camp at the property.

In early May, Marathon boosted to $16 million a proposed boughtdeal by RBC Capital Markets of 14 million common and flow-through shares. On March 31, Marathon had

GT Gold to drill Tatogga in BC’s Golden Triangle CEO INTERVIEW

| Kevin Keough-led junior probes fresh ground

new era of exploration in northwestern British Columbia’s historic Golden Triangle region hasn’t yet resulted in much greenfield discovery, but Vancouver-based GT Gold (TSXV: GTT; US-OTC: GTGDF) hopes its Tatogga gold project can change that narrative.

The company’s founders privately funded a target-generation work at the property over the past few years, leading to a maiden drill program due to begin soon. GT Gold completed its qualifying transaction, alongside a $2.5-million private placement, in mid-2016.

The 310 sq. km project lies on the Klastline plateau 14 km west of Imperial Metals’ (TSX: III) Red Chris copper-gold mine, and less than 1 km west of the town of Iskut. GT Gold’s wholly owned subsidiary, New Chris Minerals, acquired Tatogga in 2011, and then completed an airborne magnetic survey and collected 1,800 geochemical soil samples.

“The regional surveying we did privately through 2013 to 2014 unearthed quite the compelling gold-in-soil anomaly across a substantial area,” GT Gold president and CEO Kevin Keough says during an interview.

“We were pretty excited, but the industry was really struggling at that time. It was tough to raise any money, so we waited until market conditions improved to go public.

Last July we pulled the trigger, and the initial financing came together quickly after that.”

GT Gold’s focus so far has been the greenfield Saddle gold prospect, which has two sub-parallel, westto northwest-trending anomalies.

Saddle South takes its name from a “saddle-shaped” upland ridge and tableland of residual soils, with little outcrop.

The company reports that the limited outcrop feature “generally subtle” veining and alteration, while high surface metal values on its western edge correspond with “locally rusty-weathering, quartzsericite-pyrite altered volcanic host rocks.”

Saddle North sits 200 metres to-

pographically lower, and it appears to be covered to a “considerable degree” by glacial deposits.

“We’re pretty confident the soil anomalies reflect an in-situ source.

There are glaciers next to our project area, but we don’t believe our ground has been disturbed too much,” Keough says.

“We’ve tentatively put our finger on apparent structures that run through the area, which is where we’ll focus our drilling.

There’s not a lot to see at surface, but downslope next to our anomaly we have sampled high grades in at least one structure, and there are volcanics and instrusives at Saddle South,” he adds.

The Saddle South anomaly runs 1.5 km in an east–west direction and contains an “irregular core” of gold-in-soil values, as defined by contoured values exceeding 0.5 gram gold per tonne.

GT Gold caught market attention in late 2016, when it reported 58 soil samples returned an average value of 7.45 grams gold at the target, while median soil assays fell between 1.61 and 1.80 grams gold.

Mineralization at Saddle is not

yet well understood, though there are indications it is associated with post-deformation, malachite-chalcopyrite bearing quartz-carbonate veins that are oriented parallel to regional, dominant-shearing directions.

GT Gold’s geologists have reportedly found “completely quartzsericite-pyrite altered rock with numerous outcrops of gossanous material” with material gold and copper values.

In March the company outlined a plan to a first drill program at Saddle South that would include 98 reverse-circulation (RC) and dia-

mond core holes over 4,600 metres.

GT Gold intends to drill 76 RC holes across 2,000 metres to improve targeting before mobilizing the diamond rig.

It will also complete 20 line km of induced-polarization (IP) geophysics and another 1,200 soil samples.

“We’ll get a really good response from IP since there are clearly sulphides associated with the gold, and we think it’s prudent to start the program with RC,” Keough says, noting that X-ray fluorescence will also be used in the field.

“We’ll rely on a little track to transport the rig, so it’s almost being leveraged as a prospecting tool.

We need to quickly figure out the most prospective targets, so we’re using the ground-based geophysics, along with the RC program, to really help us understand the strike and depth potential,” he adds.

The company closed a $3.2-million private placement in April, wherein it issued 2.7 million hard shares priced at 32¢ each, and 5.2 million flow-through shares at 45¢ each. The net proceeds provide GT Gold with working capital of nearly $5 million, and support plans for a second phase of diamond-core drilling that may “double the total metres this year.”

“We’ll certainly aim to get as much done as we can, but it can be a pretty narrow field season up there,” Keough says. “Our story has generated excitement in the market because it’s something completely fresh, which is rather unusual these days. It didn’t have a single historical soil or rock sample on the entire target area. So it’s early days for us, but we’re optimistic that we’re seeing the upper levels of a system.”

GT Gold shares have closed at a 52-week high of 38.5¢ per share at press time. There are nearly 64 million shares outstanding for a $24.5-million market capitalization. TNM

NxGold hunts for gold near Meliadine NUNAVUT

BY LESLEY STOKES

N

lstokes@northernminer.com VANCOUVER

xGold (TSXV: NXN), a company founded by management of uranium explorer NexGen Energy (TSX: NXE; USOTC: NXGEF), is preparing to explore for structurally hosted gold mineralization at its Kuulu project, located along a geological trend of Agnico Eagle Mines’ (TSX: AEM; NYSE: AEM) 3.4 million oz. gold Meliadine gold project in Nunavut, west of Hudson Bay. NxGold — unrelated to Brazilian gold junior NX GOLD S.A. — is planning a 4,000-metre, 30-hole drill program to probe beneath a number of newly discovered goldrich quartz float at surface, along with a test of magnetic geophysical anomalies that occur across the 41.7 sq. km property.

Property-wide geophysical surveying — including a slow flying drone magnetic survey — and additional reconnaissance work would also be conducted.

“Through the work that NexGen has been doing, and the success we’ve had at Arrow, we’ve attracted quite the following in the market,” Christopher McFadden, NxGold’s president and CEO, and cofounder of NexGen, says of NxGold. “One of the transactions NexGen did came with a shell company, and it was basically sitting in the portfolio looking for something to do. So when Kuulu was presented to us as an opportunity, we decided it was a great way to revitalize that shell.”

The Kuulu property is cut in half by a large fault named Dickson-Pyke that separates a folded package of volcanic and meta-sedimentary rocks in the east, called the Eastern Fold Structure (EFS), from metamorphosed intrusives and granitic rocks in the west, grouped together as the Western Magnetic Linears (WML).

Exploration work conducted in 2015 and 2016 narrowed down the potential source of quartz-rich boulders and float material in the EFS to three broad areas, Hinge, RB and GD. Nine of the 20 angular quartz vein float samples collected in these zones assayed greater than 1 gram gold per tonne, with highs of 16.8 and 38 grams gold.

In the WML, magnetic lineaments vary from 1 to 4 km long and correlate to broad halos of gold-rich boulders at surface. Fifteen of the 51 angular quartz float rock samples collected from these zones returned greater than 1 gram gold with highs of 27, 65 and 451 grams gold.

“The success that Agnico has enjoyed at Meliadine is what makes Kuulu exciting, McFadden says.

“It’s right next door to their project, and only 40 km from Rankin Inlet, so from a geological and an infrastructure perspective, it’s very well located.”

Under an agreement signed with private company Meliadine Gold in October last year, NxGold can earn a 50% interest in the property by spending $10 million over three years, and up to a 70% interest by spending an aggregate of $25 million and delivering a bankable feasibility study.

McFadden says NxGold is well funded to undertake exploration this year, having completed a $4.9-million financing in January, which issued 19.8 million units at 25¢ per unit.

Each unit consists of a share and half a warrant exercisable within three years at 50¢ per whole warrant.

“NxGold is a separate entity from NexGen, but it has the same DNA in terms of how it operates and undertakes exploration,” McFadden adds.

Some of the money will be used

| NexGen sister company NxGold prepares for drill program at Kuulu

to begin work on NxGold’s most recent acquisition, the Chicobi gold project, which it acquired from private company Kenorland Minerals in April.

The Chicobi property covers 600 sq. km in Quebec’s portion of the Abitibi gold belt, and encompasses a 70 km strike length of a deformation zone largely untouched by explorers.

“Companies tend to go for the low-hanging fruit first, and Chicobi doesn’t have any.

There’s no outcropping mineralization that can be seen, it’s just forests and swamps,” McFadden says. “All the easy stuff in the Abitibi has been found and now we have to look a bit harder, and perhaps challenge some of the models and processes that have been used in that area in the past. We hope to bring a fresh pair of eyes into the region.”

Shares of NxGold have traded in a 52week range of 25¢ to 72¢, and closed at 45¢ at press time. The company has 37 million shares outstanding for a $16.7-million market capitalization. TNM

Canadian gold majors eye home-field exploration advantage DISCOVERY

| Stable political situation, good infrastructure among reasons to stick close to home

BY MATTHEW KEEVIL

mkeevil@northernminer.com VANCOUVER

anada’s gold miners are naturally interested in discovery back home, but the push for more “homegrown” ounces appears to be on the rise after the recent downcycle, with oft-cited reasons including geopolitical risk, operational synergies and favourable infrastructure.

The Northern Miner reviewed exploration reports from three marquee Canadian producers to see where major miners are most active in Canada.

Barrick Gold The world’s largest gold producer had its start near Wawa, Ont., but it subsequently consolidated major production centres in Nevada and beyond. Barrick Gold (TSX: ABX; NYSE: ABX) operates the historic Hemlo gold mine 35 km east of Marathon, Ont., however, where it drilled nearly 20,000 metres last year.

The asset consists of the Williams mine and processing facility located at the western end of the property, the Golden Giant mine in the central area and the David Bell mine in the east.

The investment expanded Hemlo’s reserves to 25.8 million tonnes grading 1.92 grams gold per tonne for nearly 1.6 million contained ounces.

Barrick said the mine’s life could be extended through 2026 based on technical reports expected by yearend. The company also established the first geological model for the entire Hemlo deposit in 2016.

Meanwhile, Barrick signed two Canadian earn-in agreements during the first quarter. On March 27, the company announced a deal with

Osisko Mining (TSX: OSK; USOTC: OSKFF) wherein it can earn 70% in Osisko’s Kan gold property in northern Quebec’s Labrador Trough, for $15 million in exploration expenses over the next three years.

Barrick must spend $6 million by the end of 2018, and earn another 5% interest by electing to fund $5 million more in project-level expenses (i.e., a preliminary economic assessment or prefeasibility study).

Barrick also closed an agreement with explorer Atac Resources (TSXV: ATC; US-OTC: ATADF) to earn 60% in the Orion gold project in the Yukon. The terms outline potential investment totalling $63.3 million, which includes a private placement of $8.3 million and a two-staged, $55-million exploration earn-in option to acquire up to 70% of Orion, which comprises the central portion of the 1,742 sq. km Rackla property, 100 km northeast of Keno City.

Barrick will also buy $6.3 million in Atac shares via a charity flowthrough private placement, which will increase its equity stake from 9.2% to 19.9%.

“Exploration has been one of Barrick’s primary value drivers for a long time. After several years focused on existing core districts, this year, we’re increasing our investment in exploration, both near-mine and greenfield,” Barrick president Kelvin Dushnisky said during a first-quarter conference call.

Goldcorp Vancouver-based Goldcorp (TSX: G; NYSE: GG) has strong presence in Canada with operations in Ontario and Quebec that could crank out 615,000 oz. gold in 2017.

The company is also advancing a pipeline of Canadian exploration

and development projects, which it expanded to the Yukon with its $520-million purchase of Kaminak Gold and the Coffee property last year.

In April, Goldcorp released an update on its 2017 exploration plans.

The company reported in excess of 100,000 metres of diamond and reverse-circulation drilling that it expects to complete across its Canadian portfolio.

Goldcorp completed 31,300 metres of underground drilling at Red Lake during the first quarter, which focused on five main areas: the R zone/Lower 56, Upper Red Lake, Party Wall, Campbell and Lower Red Lake. Goldcorp’s proven and probable reserves in the Red Lake area total 7.6 million tonnes at 8.36 grams gold per tonne for 2 million contained oz. gold.

Meanwhile, Goldcorp is active in the Porcupine mining district in Ontario, where the company will drill 57,000 metres at surface and underground for its advanced-stage Century project. Porcupine consists of four mining operations: Hoyle Pond, Dome underground and the Hollinger open pit, which all feed the central Dome processing facility.

The Porcupine assets jointly host 46 million proven and probable tonnes grading 1.55 grams gold tonne for 2.3 million contained oz. gold.

Goldcorp is active at two more recent acquisitions, namely Coffee, and the Borden project that it picked up via the $530-million Probe Mines acquisition in early 2015. Borden lies 160 km west of the Porcupine mine. The company is planning a regional exploration program to follow up on last year’s glacial till sampling.

contact and “associated gold zone along strike” from the Borden deposit. Mineralization could be associated with a garnet biotite felsic gneiss unit, with various amounts of quartz veining, f looding and sulphides.

Goldcorp started its annual field season at Coffee in March. The company mobilized twin reversecirculation rigs and drilled 7,300 metres at the Supremo, T8-9 and Arabica targets. It is also planning a regional exploration program across the 600 sq. km property package later this year.

“We continue to invest in our pipeline and advance a number of projects forward, with a capital commitment of over $1 billion,” Goldcor p president and CEO David Garofalo said in March.

“It has been a busy year as we transition to the harvest mode.

We’ve got a quality profile right across the group, and each side is competitive for the dollars. The money will go to where we are getting the best results.”

Agnico Eagle Mines Agnico Eagle Mines (TSX: AEM; NYSE: AEM) is the largest gold producer in Quebec, with a 100% interest in three mines — LaRonde, Goldex and Lapa — and a 50% interest in the Canadian Malartic joint venture with Yamana Gold (TSX: YRI; NYSE: AUY). Agnico also operates the Meadowbank mine in Nunavut, which is an emerging gold district following Agnico’s discovery of the Amaruq gold deposit.

Agnico aims to boost its total gold production to 2 million oz. per year by 2020.

In Quebec, exploration is largely focused on the Canadian Malartic complex. The partners completed nearly 23,000 metres of drilling at the Odyssey project during the first quarter, which could provide feed for the Canadian Malartic mill.

Agnico’s biggest Canadian exploration success of the past two years has been the rapid path from discovery to resource delineation at Amaruq, 50 km northwest of its Meadowbank mine. The company initiated a $22-million, 75,000-metre drill program at Amaruq in February. In the first quarter Agnico completed 119 holes over 17,900 metres, which focused on the the IVR zone and Whale Tail deposit, and a “possible expansion of the Whale Tail open-pit limit towards the west.”

Amaruq has an initial open-pit indicated resource of 17 million tonnes averaging 3.88 grams gold for 2.1 million contained ounces.

Agnico will spend $78 million in capital expenditures at the property this year, mostly on finishing an all-weather exploration road, additional technical studies and procuring materials and equipment for the 2018 construction season.

The company added more Canadian exploration exposure by financing Shawn Ryan’s new Yukon vehicle White Gold (TSXV: WGO; US-OTC: GFRGF), which holds nearly 2,500 sq. km in the White Gold district. Agnico spent $15 million on 12.1 million shares, which equates to a 19.9% equity interest in the junior explorer.

“I just want to reinforce that our core strategy is really getting into emerging regions, or getting into deposits early,” Agnico president and CEO Sean Boyd said during a first-quarter conference call. “We gain knowledge, acquire ground and invest in exploration. Our extensive mine-building skills allow us to turn these early stage opportunities into meaningful cash-flow generators. We look to become significant players in these regions through prospecting, drilling and building.” TNM

ONTARIO SNAPSHOT Four gold projects nearing production

BY SALMA TARIKH starikh@northernminer.com

Ontario is a hot spot for gold exploration in Canada, as it hosts several of the country’s large historic gold camps. According to Fraser Institute’s annual Survey of Mining Companies 2016, Ontario ranked as the sixth best jurisdiction for investment attractiveness in Canada and globally came in eighteenth place. Here’s a review of four gold projects in Ontario set to start production within the next two years: CLAVOS Sage Gold (TSXV: SGX) is lining up to become the newest producer in Timmins, Ont., with first production at its wholly owned Clavos gold deposit expected later this year.

“We are hoping at the end of September to start shipping mineralized material to the mill,” Sage’s CEO Nigel Lees says, adding that commercial production should begin in the first half of 2018.

Before commercial production kicks off, Sage plans to complete dewatering and rehabilitating the former mine by year-end, update the resource estimate and finish a prefeasibility study.

Sage has recently wrapped up 2,900 metres of surface drilling, which established a mineralized corridor between Clavos’ main mine zone and the 960 zone. It now aims to finish 9,200 metres of definition and exploration drilling from underground.

Based on a 2012 resource estimate of 316,000 indicated and inferred oz., a 2013 preliminary economic assessment (PEA) envisioned Clavos — permitted as a 700-tonne-perday operation — cranking out a total 145,448 oz. over seven years.

While estimated total capital was $35 million, including $8 million in start-up costs, both amounts have since gone down, largely because of the increase in the Canadian gold price, Lees says.

Development costs are low because the project benefits from over $60 million in historic investments and does not require building a mill.

Sage will use Primero Mining’s (TSX: P) Black Fox-Stock mill, located 10 km away, on a tollmilling basis.

Sage closed an $11.5-million financing — including a $1.9-million equity raise and a $9.7-million gold prepayment facility with Cartesian Royalty Holdings — last November. Since then, it raised another $1.4 million in equity. The firm has $8 million on hand and should draw down the final $3.3-million tranche of the gold prepayment facility shortly, Lees says.

SUGAR ZONE Harte Gold (TSX: HRT) is running to the finish line at its Sugar Zone property in White River, Ont., near the Hemlo gold camp. Harte expects to operate Sugar Zone as a 540-tonne-per-day underground operation, producing 50,000 oz. gold a year, over an initial eightyear mine life.

Construction on-site is set to start mid-year. The junior intends

1-16, 23_MAY29_Main .indd 13

HARTE HAS LAUNCHED AN AGGRESSIVE $15-MILLION, 75,000-METRE DRILL PROGRAM. to begin mill commissioning in the first quarter of 2018, with commercial production starting at the end of the second quarter of 2018, Harte’s CEO Stephen Roman notes.

According to a 2012 PEA, Sugar Zone contains an indicated resource of 980,900 tonnes at 10.13 grams gold for 319,280 oz. (uncapped), and an inferred resource of 580,500 tonnes at 8.36 grams gold for 155,960 ounces (uncapped).

The junior will table an updated technical report, including a revised resource and mine plan, in early 2018.

It recently completed a 70,000-tonne bulk sample program that it started in October 2015. The sample, processed at Barrick Gold’s (TSX: ABX; NYSE: ABX) nearby Hemlo mill, generated $27.7 million in proceeds. During commercial production, Harte will process ore at its own mill. It anticipates receiving the commercial production permits in the third quarter of 2017.

agreements with First Nations, and finalize the joint-venture agreement with Northern Sun Mining (TSXV: NSC) to co-own the nearby Redstone mill, where it will process Bradshaw’s ore.

Taylor projects Bradshaw could reach commercial production in late 2018 or early 2019. An amended 2015 prefeasibility study envisions Bradshaw could produce a total of 305,058 oz. gold, including the bulk sample, over eight years. The estimated initial project cost is US$26.9 million, including US$10.7 million for the bulk sample.

BORDEN The Borden underground project near Chapleau, Ont., is on track to become Goldcorp’s (TSX: G; NYSE: GG) next Canadian gold mine, with first production beginning in late 2019. Goldcorp bought the high-grade deposit, known as one of the best recent discoveries in Ontario, in a $526-million, allstock takeover of Probe Mines in 2015. Borden sits 160 km west of Goldcorp’s long-operating Porcupine mine and milling facility. The major is prepping to build an underground ramp into the Borden deposit to extract a 30,000-tonne bulk sample. The ramp will encourage exploration

After the bulk sample, Goldcorp intends to publish a feasibility study at the end of March 2019, where it would include Porcupine’s mill and infrastructure for processing.

Goldcorp says that given the little infrastructure required for fullscale mining, Borden should reach commercial production six months

after the bulk-sample extraction, which it expects will occur by the fourth quarter of 2019.

As of June 2016, Borden had gold reserves of 4.12 million tonnes grading 7.14 grams gold per tonne for 950,000 ounces. It had another 3 million tonnes of 5.77 grams gold for 560,000 oz. in measured and indicated. TNM

BRADSHAW Gowest Gold (TSXV: GWA) has kicked off an advanced exploration program at its flagship Bradshaw gold deposit on its North Timmins gold project in Timmins, with commercial production set to start in less than two years.

The program, comprising a 30,000-tonne bulk sample containing 10,000 oz. gold, should wrap up in “the first half, possibly the first quarter of calendar 2018,” Gowest’s manager of investor relations Greg Taylor says. Gowest is preparing the area for the underground sample, with ore extraction expected this autumn.

Bradshaw’s advanced exploration work is funded by a definitive prepaid forward gold-purchase agreement that Gowest signed last December with Pandion Mine Finance. Under the agreement, the New York-based firm will pay Gowest US$17.6 million in four tranches over 12 months, as a partial consideration to buy up to 65,805 oz. gold from Bradshaw.

Gowest has 27 months before it needs to deliver gold, following first tranche, received this February.

While Gowest has the permit for the bulk sample, Taylor notes it still needs to obtain a mining permit, sign impact and benefit

Integra had expected to complete 81,000 metres of drilling at the site in 2017, and was pursuing ramp development for a bulk sample on its Triangle deposit by year-end.

Integra released a preliminary economic assessment on Lamaque in February that models a $175-million development cranking out 135,000 oz. gold annually over a 10-year mine life.

The junior has taken advantage of local infrastructure, and Quebec’s generous flow-through share system, to drill at a furious rate over the past few years. Integra completed nearly 120,000 metres of drilling over the past 18 months, which doubled indicated resources at its Triangle deposit to 6.3 million tonnes at 7.3 grams gold for 1.47 million contained ounces.

The company held permits for a 5,000-tonne bulk sample, and had been preparing an application to extend it to 50,000 tonnes. In addition, Integra intended to convert the remaining Triangle exploration claims to mining leases.

The bid marks the first major

experience of building and operating gold mines in Canada.

Many expected the company to make an acquisition after it exited China after $900-million in asset sales in the country in late 2016.

The Integra purchase would decrease Eldorado’s geopolitical risk, considering that its current operating assets are in Turkey and Greece.

The company already had a 13% stake in Integra dating back to mid-2015, when it picked up 52.1 million shares at 28¢ per share, or an 11% premium at the time.

Scotiabank analyst Tanya Jakusconek noted the bid valuation “appears reasonable,” based on Eldorado paying US$179 per oz. of gold resource at Lamaque.

Scotiabank has a “sector outperform” rating on the Eldorado, along with a US$4.25-per-share, one-year price target.

“At first glance, we view this acquisition as mildly positive because it diversifies [Eldorado’s] geopolitical risk with upside at a reasonable cost, particularly if it can achieve material tax synergies,” Jakusconek wrote on May 15. The company “has the balance-sheet capacity to internally fund the acquisition and the capex to develop the asset.”

Eldorado will also inherit Integra’s 9.9% equity stake in explorer Eastmain Resources (TSX: ER; US-OTC EANRF) and its 132 sq. km land package in the James Bay gold camp in northern Quebec.

Eldorado expects to produce between 365,000 and 400,000 oz. gold in 2017 at all-in sustaining cash costs ranging from US$845 to US$875 per ounce.

The company’s shares dropped 8%, or 39¢, after news of the bid en route to a $4.61-per-share close at press time.

Eldorado shares have traded in a 52-week range of $3.46 to $6.71. It has 717 million shares outstanding for a $3.3-billion market capitalization. It reported US$1.1 billion in “total liquidity” at the end of March. TNM

TomaGold keeps good company in Quebec and Ontario EXPLORATION

BY TRISH SAYWELL

F

tsaywell@northernminer.com

or a junior gold explorer trading at 9¢ a share, TomaGold’s (TSXV: LOT) list of jointventure partners on projects in central Canada could come as a surprise.

The company has three joint-venture properties in Quebec with Iamgold (TSX: IMG; NYSE: IAG) — Monster Lake, Winchester and Lac-à-l’Eau Jaune — and two joint ventures in Ontario with Goldcorp (TSX: G; NYSE: GG), Sidace Lake and Baird. New Gold (TSX: NGD; NYSE: NGD) joins Goldcorp and TomaGold as a partner on the Baird project.

“Our strategy is to optimize project value through joint ventures with majors,” TomaGold’s president and CEO David Grondin says. “All the projects are in renowned mining camps close to mining infrastructure, and our goal is to acquire other advanced or producing projects, and secure additional joint ventures.”

In early May, Iamgold and TomaGold reported assay results from the first 11 diamond drill holes (5,100 metres) Iamgold completed over the winter at the Monster Lake project, 50 km southwest of Chibougamau.

Iamgold owns a 50% stake in the project, while TomaGold holds 45% and junior explorer Quinto Real Capital (TSXV: QIT) has a 5% interest. Iamgold has an option to earn another 25% interest for a total of 75% if it spends $10 million more on the project within seven years, starting from January 2015.

A highlight from the first half of the year’s 10,700-metre drill program is an intercept measuring 5.21 grams gold per tonne over 4.4 metres. Another hole returned 3.1 metres of 121.67 grams gold and a third cut 1.8 metres of 85.27 grams gold.

“The grades were quite amazing and the drilling is encouraging,” says Grondin, adding that Iamgold’s strategy to advance the project “continues to bear fruit,” and that the company’s technical team can “unlock the full value” of the project.

The second batch of drills results from the early 2017 drill program at Monster Lake is due in a few weeks, and Grondin says the partners expect to finish a maiden resource estimate before year-end.

The drill program targeted high potential areas along the 4.5 km trend of the Monster Lake Structural Corridor and associated shear zones. So far five major zones have been identified: 52, Megane, 325, Annie and Eratix. All of the zones are within a 600- to 700-metre radius.

Over time, 70,700 metres of drilling has gone into the project, with over 25 drill intersections returning grades ranging from 10 grams gold to 237.6 grams gold.

When TomaGold picked up the Monster Lake project in 2011, previous operators had drilled 30,200 metres (224 diamond drill holes).

Soquem drilled 20,000 metres (142 holes) between 1984 and 1995, and excavated a large number of trenches along the 4.5 km long mineralized corridor.

Soquem’s historic drill results confirmed at least 22 gold showings with gold intersections, including 27.55 grams gold over 4.2 metres, 4.05 grams gold over 3.9 metres and 6.3 grams gold over

5.1 metres.

In 2010 and 2011, Stellar Pacific Ventures drilled 5,200 metres (46 holes) into gold-bearing structures on the mineralized corridor. One hole completed in the Megane-325 zone intersected 101.2 grams gold over 4.5 metres at 49.5 metres.

In late 2011 and early 2012, TomaGold drilled 18 holes (2,400 metres), to test the continuity of Zone 52 at depth and confirm the northern extension of the Annie zone.

This program led to a major discovery in terms of grade and continuity, where TomaGold intersected 5.7 metres grading 237.6 grams gold at 69 metres in hole 12-60. The hole lay in the northeastern extension of the Annie zone and caught the eye of Iamgold.

At the beginning of 2013, TomaGold completed a 5,000-metre drilling program on the property.

The goal was to explore the 325

gold zone at depth, which had not been done by previous operators.

All the drill holes intercepted the mineralized zone.

Meanwhile, at properties surrounding the Monster Lake property — Lac-à-l’Eau and Winchester — joint-venture partner Iamgold has flown a Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic airborne survey that has found several strong conductors that coincide with prominent magnetic anomalies similar to those observed along the Monster Lake shear zone. Other work has included geological and structural mapping, and selected geochemical and geophysical surveys. Iamgold owns 50% and TomaGold owns 50% of the two projects.

Meanwhile in Ontario, TomaGold acquired a 39.5% stake last year from Planet Mining Exploration (TSXV: PXI) in the Sidace Lake project, 25 km northeast of

Balmertown in the Red Lake mining district. Goldcorp owns the other 60.5% interest in the project.

Since 1998, 90,100 metres have been drilled (246 diamond drill holes) at Sidace Lake, and in April 2009 a resource estimate was completed on the two most advanced of six prospects on the claims — the Main Discovery Zone (MDZ) and the Upper Duck Zone (UDZ).

The resource was prepared from two block models, each using a cutoff grade of 1.5 grams gold, resulting in a 1.4-million-tonne indicated resource grading 3.21 grams gold for 141,300 oz. gold, and another 2.1 million tonnes averaging 3.24 grams gold for 218,800 contained oz. gold in the inferred category.

The MDZ and UDZ zones are open laterally and at depth, and Grondin says the MDZ zone shares characteristics with the Hemlo deposit.

“There’s a resource on it, so it’s something that we can expand on,” he says. “It’s another case of a major doing work with us. With their expertise and technical team, they can accelerate things a lot faster than if we were doing it ourselves, so it changes the game plan and makes it go faster.”

In addition to Sidace Lake, TomaGold acquired a 24.5% stake f r om S k y h a r b ou r Re s ou rc es (TSXV: SYH; US-OTC: SYHBF) last year in a small jointventure project called Baird, in which Goldcorp holds a 51% stake and New Gold holds a 24.5% stake.

Baird is 14 km southwest of Goldcorp’s Red Lake mine and 6 km north of the Madsen mine.

The property lies within the highly prospective Balmer assemblage of volcanic rocks, and Grondin See TOMAGOLD / 16

Goldstrike, Newmont tackle Plateau’s prolific gold showings EXPLORATION

| Partners embark on $6-million exploration campaign in Yukon

BY LESLEY STOKES

G

lstokes@northernminer.com VANCOUVER

oldstrike Resources (TSXV: GSR) is in for a busy year at its flagship Plateau gold property, 200 km east of Dawson City, central Yukon. The junior explorer and its new partner on the project, Newmont Mining (NYSE: NEM), are launching the most extensive exploration campaign ever carried out on the 571 sq. km property.

The $6-million program will use Newmont’s proprietary technology to expand and identify high-grade gold mineralization zones at Plateau.

The property was previously thought to be barren, but is now known for its prolific exposures of visible gold over 50 km.

“It’s a large system — a lot of gold surged through these rocks,” William Chornobay, chief operating officer, tells The Northern Miner during a phone interview from Goldstrike’s office in downtown Vancouver. “There’s a lot of work ahead of us, but thankfully our partner has the technical depth and financial strength required to take on an entire district like this one.”

Newmont’s foray into the Yukon began in March when it struck a $53-million deal to explore and develop the junior’s emerging gold district.

The agreement has two stages.

To earn 51% interest in Plateau, Newmont must spend $14.7 million in cash payments, financing and exploration expenses over the first two years, and complete a National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource.

The financing totalled $6 million and comprised 12.7 million Goldstrike units at 47¢ per unit.

Each unit consists of a share and a warrant exercisable at 75¢ per share within four years.

To boost its ownership in the project to 75%, Newmont must spend another $21.4 million on exploration and complete a feasibility study before 2028.

“These companies are coming back to projects in Canada and the U.S. because they are geopolitically stable jurisdictions at a time the world isn’t too stable,” Chornobay says. “Plateau has generated a lot of interest from senior miners because it is a brand-new gold district. The

“THE PROJECT IS A LONG WAYS FROM BEING A MINE, BUT IT HAS ALL THE RIGHT INGREDIENTS OF BECOMING SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT.” WILLIAM CHORNOBAY CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER, GOLDSTRIKE RESOURCES

project is a long ways from being a mine, but it has all the right ingredients of becoming something significant.”

Goldstrike first ventured into Plateau in 2011 to investigate gold anomalies found in governmentsourced regional stream sediment data. After six years of boots-andleather exploration work and 3,500 metres of drilling, the company has uncovered visible gold in veins, stockworks and breccias across a 50 km distance.

Only two of the seven main prospects at Plateau have ever been drilled. At Goldstack, a 2016 drill hole returned 12.5 grams gold per tonne over 20.7 metres. But at the Gold Dome prospect, drilling in 2013 found 9 metres of 7.6 grams gold within a 600- by 1,200-metre gold-in-soil anomaly.

Prospecting at the Big Bang zone — Goldstrike’s most recent discovery — outlined a 3 by 2 km area containing breccias and vein stockworks. Out of the 50 grab samples collected last year, 14 of the samples returned over 1 gram gold.

“Every time we go into this property we find more and more gold,” Chornobay says. “Wherever you see an outcrop you see quartz flooding … the showings look like they tie together somehow, they just need more work to figure out how.”

As part of this year’s exploration program, Goldstrike and Newmont plan to conduct airborne and ground geophysical surveys, geochemistry, geological mapping and an unspecified amount of drilling at Plateau.

Meanwhile, Goldstrike is also preparing for a maiden drill program at its wholly owned Lucky

Strike gold project, 90 km south of Dawson City. The property is next to the 1 million oz. White Gold property, and near the 20 million oz. Klondike placer goldfields.

(The White Gold property is

being acquired by Shawn Ryan’s exploration vehicle White Gold [TSXV: WGO] as per a May 18 agreement with owner Kinross Gold [TSX: K; NYSE: KGC] for 17.5 million shares, a $10-million upfront cash payment and $15 million in milestone payments.

Agnico Eagle Mines [TSX: AEM; NYSE: AEM] will keep its 19.9% interest in White Gold Corp. by buying 4.4 million shares at $2.01 per share.)

The drill program at Lucky Strike will test five gold-in-soil anomalies that Goldstrike has found along a 10 km long northwest-trending strike.

Channel sampling over one of the anomalies, Monte Carlo, returned 0.76 gram gold over 78 metres, including 8 metres of 3 grams gold.

The mineralization falls within a 700-metre-long induced polarization anomaly, highlighted by geophysical surveys finished last year.

“Our focus over the past five years has been at Plateau, so Lucky Strike has been our orphaned child,” Chornobay says. “We’ve completed only small programs to date, but the trenching we did last year exceeded our expectations. Every trench we’ve dug has hit gold mineralization, and the results rival the discovery trenches at both Coffee and White Gold, so we’re excited to go back in there.”

He adds that if Lucky Strike delivers good drill holes this year, “it’s an obvious spin-out, and that will benefit all of our shareholders.”

Shares of Goldstrike have traded in a 52-week range of 12¢ to 43¢, and closed at 34¢ at press time. The company has 184 million shares outstanding for a $61.7-million market capitalization. TNM

says it shows structural and alteration systems that are typical of the Goldcorp Red Lake and Campbell gold mines.

During the 1980s, drilling at Baird by United Reef returned assays of 172 grams gold over 1.2 metres and 19 grams gold over 1.8 metres.

Earlier this year, TomaGold started a 1,700-metre drill program on its wholly owned, pastproducing Obalski gold-copper project, 2 km south of Chibougamau. The initial program will consist of priority targets based on data compiled since acquiring the property in May 2016.

In March, the company reported that drill hole 17-2 intersected 2 metres of semi-massive sulphides grading 15 grams gold, 46.8 grams silver and 10.4% copper, including 1 metre of 21.3 grams gold, 52.3 grams silver and 8.6% copper, at a vertical depth of 95 metres.

TomaGold says that hole 17-2 could be the eastern extension of Zone A, from which United Obalksi Mining produced 90,000 tonnes at grades of 3 grams gold, 6.2 grams silver and 1.5% copper, between 1964 and 1972. This hypothesis is based on historic mine plans and sections, but more drilling is needed to confirm this theory, Grondin says.

More drilling could assess the property’s gold potential at depth.

Although over 60,000 metres have been drilled on the property in the

past, Grondin says, most of it was shallow.

Obalski hosts seven mineralized zones, an 85-metre shaft and two ramps.

Before TomaGold’s acquisition the project was last drilled by a prospector in 2012, who completed six short holes. One hole (12-1) cut 0.8 metre of 9.72 grams gold per tonne, 19.50 grams silver, 0.82% copper and 0.44% zinc from 37 metres deep, and a second (12-2) returned a 0.6-metre intercept of 1.81 grams gold, 5.40 grams silver, 0.16% copper and 0.03% zinc from 33.6 metres deep.

Drill hole 12-4 returned 2.8 metres of 27.81 grams gold, 23.74 grams silver, 1.2% copper and 0.2% zinc starting from 35 metres deep.

TomaGold finished an option to earn a 70% stake in the Hazeur proper t y nex t to its Monster Lake project from Visible Gold Mines (TSXV: VGD).

TomaGold released drill results from a small drill program last September. Seven holes were drilled into geophysical anomalies.

The holes were drilled to test the mineralized structure of the Philibert deposit, which lies 1 km southeast of the eastern edge of the property. The structure hosting the deposit crosses the entire Hazeur property from east to west.

Hole 16-3 returned 4.8 metres of 1.09 grams gold from 100 metres deep, and hole 16-8 cut 2 metres of 6.50 grams gold from 82.5 metres, and 5.3 metres of 1.63 grams gold from 96 metres downhole. TNM

MAY 29–JUNE 11, 2017 / THE NORTHERN MINER

M A R K E T N EWS TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE / MAY 15–19 Fallout from U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent firing of FBI chief James Comey and uncertainty about the Russia government's role in the 2016 U.S. presidential election continued to rattle global markets. The political volatility drove up the gold price as a safe haven asset, however. The S&P/TSX Composite Index fell 0.51% to 15,458.46, while gold finished 2.27% higher at US$1,255.60 per ounce. The S&P/TSX Global Mining Index rose 1.16% to 66.54 and the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index lost 0.88% to end at 212.02.

West Texas Intermediate crude rose 5% to US$50.38 per barrel on hopes that OPEC would bolster prices.

Lundin Mining rose 73¢ to $7.73 per share in the wake of a positive feasibility study on expanding the company’s NevesCorvo zinc mine in Portugal. The feasibility study examined installing an underground crusher and conveyor system to handle ore from a deeper, higher zinc-grade area known as “Lombador Phase 2,” upgrades to the existing hoisting shaft, expansion of the zinc processing plant to 2.5 million tonnes per day and expansions to the tailings management facility, as well as other site infrastructure. The study included a forecast that annual zinc production would peak at 180,000 tonnes and average 150,000 tonnes per year from 2020–2030, along with

an increase in lead production. The study estimated life-of-mine C1 cash costs of US28¢ per lb. copper net of by-product credits, or US29¢ per lb. zinc net of by-product credits.

Preproduction capital costs of the expansion would run to €257 million, including a 15% contingency, with a payback period of less than four years. The expansion offers an incremental post-tax net present value of €180 million at an 8% discount rate and 22% internal rate of return. Lundin has approved the expansion project, pending approval of an Environmental Impact Assessment.

Shares of Mason Resources jumped 61.5% to 21¢ since listing on the TSX on May 12.

Mason Resources’ Ann Mason and Lordsburg assets were spun out earlier this month from Entrée Resources (formerly Entree Gold).

The new junior says its flagship Ann Mason project in the Yerington district of Nevada is the fourth-largest undeveloped copper porphyry resource in Canada and the United States. A preliminary economic assessment on Ann Mason this year includes results of a detailed metallurgical program completed in 2016. Mason Resources holds a US$8.8million cash balance and has 77.8 million shares issued and outstanding.

Treasury Metals’ shares jumped 23% to 75¢ apiece. The junior completed a financing that raised $8.1 million for its wholly owned Goliath gold project in northwestern Ontario.

The company plans on developing an open pit mine to feed a 2,500-tonne-per day plant, with subsequent underground operations.

The company has 77.8 million shares issued and outstanding, along with an US$8.8million cash balance. TNM

TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE / MAY 15–19 The S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index rose 13.26 points to a 806.9-point close, as spot gold prices gained US$27.5 to US$1,255.93 per oz., and Comex copper prices gained 6¢ to $2.58 per pound.

Shares of Integra Gold gained 34¢ to $1.14 after news that international miner Eldorado Gold intends to acquire the junior explorer for $590 million. Eldorado, which already owns 13% of Integra’s stock, plans to acquire the remaining issued and outstanding shares at a 46% premium to Integra’s 20-day, volumeweighted average price. Shareholders of Integra may choose to receive either 0.24250 of an Eldorado share or $1.21250 in cash, or 0.18188 of an Eldorado share plus $0.30313 in cash. Eldorado will issue up to 77 million shares and the maximum cash payout would be $129 million (equal to 25% of the total consideration). Integra’s main asset is the Lamaque gold project near Val-d’Or, Que. A preliminary economic assessment completed in February estimates it could produce 123,000 oz. gold annually over 10 years.

Eldorado will also inherit Integra’s 9.9% equity stake in explorer Eastmain Resources, and its 132 sq. km land package in northern Quebec’s James Bay gold camp. The deal comes after Eldorado shelved expansion plans in January for its flagship Kisladag gold mine

in Turkey, and postponed a development decision on its Tocantinzinho gold project in Brazil, due to lower gold prices.

Leeta Gold rose 9¢ to 17¢ per share. On April 7, the junior explorer completed its option to gain to 70% interest in the Beardmore gold property from Empire Rock Minerals, after incurring $500,000 in exploration expenses and paying Empire $180,000. The property — formerly called Gwyn Lake and located within Ontario’s Beardmore-Geraldton gold belt — hosts a number of banded-iron formations (BIF) prospective for orogenic-style gold mineralization. Of the 192 channel samples collected from BIF in 2009, 32% assayed more than 1 gram gold per tonne, and 39% of the same series ranged from 0.1 to 0.99 gram gold.

Each unit consists of one common share and one half-warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable within five years at 50¢ per share. Funds from the financing would help advance the company’s properties in Indonesia. In March, the company consolidated its shares on a 10-to-1 basis.

Drill results at Arizona Silver Exploration’s Ramsey silver mine in La Paz County, Ariz., drove shares of the junior explorer up 21¢ to 81¢. One of the reverse-circulation drill holes found 44 metres of massive silica from 108 metres deep, with assay results pending. The hole was designed to test a strong induced-polarization anomaly on the property. TNM

U.S. MARKETS / MAY 15–19 The three major U.S. stock indexes fell during the third week of May. The S&P 500 Index slipped 0.38% to 2,381.73 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.44% to 20,804.84. The Nasdaq retreated 0.6% to 6,083.70. Spot gold gained 2%, or US$27.90, to finish at US$1,227.70 per oz., while U.S. crude oil futures rose 5.2% to US$50.33 per barrel.

Iamgold gained 6.2% to close at US$4.46 per share after promising drill results. On May 15, Iamgold provided an update from its 2017 infill drilling program at the Saramacca project, near its Rosebel gold mine in Suriname. The company completed the current phase of the drill program, consisting of 113 diamond drill holes totalling 19,600 metres.

Iamgold received assay results from 78 holes, with the other assays expected in June. Results to date show high grades over wide intervals, with recent highlights including 43.5 metres grading 12.26 grams gold per tonne and 76.6 metres of 7.74 grams gold. Iamgold expects to incorporate the results into an initial resource estimate, targeted for completion in the third quarter of 2017.

Sibanye Gold was the biggest percentage loser, sinking 36.7% to US$5.51 per share.

outh32 (LON: S32) is acquiring a 15% stake in Arizona Mining (TSX: AZ) at a 30% premium to the junior’s share price in a move analysts say is a ringing endorsement of the company and its Taylor zinc-lead-silver sulphide deposit, 80 km southeast of Tucson, Arizona.

The globally diversified metals and mining company has signed a binding private placement agreement with Arizona Mining for 45 million common shares in the company at a price of $2.45 per share for gross proceeds of $110.3 million (US$81 million). South32 also gets a seat on the board and a pre-emptive right to participate in future equity financings to keep its 15% ownership.

Arizona Mining will use the funds to advance its Taylor deposit to the feasibility and permitting stage, and add drill rigs to test new targets at the property, including the Taylor Deeps zone and the Trench Vein system. The Taylor deposit and surrounding targets are part of the company’s Hermosa project.

Don Taylor, Arizona Mining’s chief operating officer and the geologist who led the team that discovered the sulphide deposit at Taylor, says many companies have looked at the project since 2015, but South32 is a “preferred stakeholder,” and has many of the skills the company will need to develop the project.

“We’ve had quite a bit of interest from some of the more established companies,” he says. “It’s a great resource and it’s a commodity mix that’s pretty hot right now, in terms of zinc and silver-lead. South32 has shown more interest than many of the other groups.”

Taylor notes that South32 understands the zinc-lead-silver business very well and has gained a lot of experience at its own Cannington underground mine in Australia, one of the world’s largest silver and lead producers.

He also notes that South32, the world’s largest publicly listed man-

ganese producer, is interested in Arizona Mining’s other deposit on the Hermosa property, called Central, a silver-manganese manto oxide project updip from Taylor.

“There is no value currently put on that deposit when you look at the share price today, but it’s something [South32] is keenly aware of ... [they] have their eye on that ball.”

Central has a measured and indicated resource of 181.7 million short tons (164.8 million tonnes) grading 1.3 oz. per ton silver (36.85 grams silver per tonne) and 3.1% manganese, and an inferred resource of 45.2 million short tons (50 million tonnes) grading 1 oz. per ton silver (28.35 grams silver per tonne) and 1.8% manganese.

Some of the proceeds from the private placement will be used for Central. The company is revising the process flow sheet for the oxide deposit, and plans to run a pilot-scale test on that new process flow sheet in the mid- to latter part of this year.

Taylor describes the deal with South32 as “wonderful.”

“First, they are miners, and bring a lot of skills to the table, from the commercial aspects of buying and selling of concentrates, as well as the experience they bring on the manganese side. At some point we will develop the Central deposit, and South32 has a lot of background and experience to help us understand those markets and associated products.”

Last month, Arizona Mining completed a preliminary economic assessment of the Taylor sulphide deposit, which envisions an underground mine with initial production

beginning in 2020 and ramping up to 10,000 tonnes per day in 2023.

Based on a 19-year mine life, the study outlines an after-tax net present value of US$1.3 billion at an 8% discount rate, a 42% internal rate of return and a 1.7-year payback period.

The Taylor deposit contains measured and indicated resources of 72.5 million short tons (65.7 million tonnes) grading 4.3% zinc, 4.4% lead, 1.7 oz. per ton silver (48.19 grams silver per tonne) and 0.1% copper, based on a 4% zincequivalent cut-off grade. Inferred resources add 38.6 million short tons (35.05 million tonnes) grading 4.4% zinc, 4.2% lead, 3.1 oz. per ton silver (87.88 grams silver per tonne) and 0.1% copper.

What led to the discovery of the main zone at Taylor in 2015 was a re-interpretation of the geology combined with the alteration halo, or alteration minerals, Don Taylor says.

Also supporting the re-interpretation was the magnetic data from a geophysical survey flown in 2012.

“This data highlighted an area that just said ‘drill here,’ and we did,” Taylor says. “And all five holes encountered significant intercepts of massive sulphide zinc-lead-silver.

“It was pretty special — it was an exciting time,” Taylor adds. “It was a time when money was tight and our chairman, Richard Warke, stepped up with his own money and put pressure on us to deliver.”

The company has focused on the Taylor sulphide zone for mine-planning purposes, but also recognizes the potential of both the Trench Vein System and the Taylor Deeps zone at the Hermosa project. Now

that it has completed the PEA on Taylor, it plans to turn its attention to these zones to determine their size and extent.

The company has an aggressive program for the rest of the year, including more exploration and permitting work. One of the main exploration targets is a series of high-angled veins that were mined historically in the district.

On the Trench property, some veins can be traced for a mile (1.6 km) along strike, Taylor says, and the company has intersected them in its drilling to depths in excess of 3,500 feet (1,067 metres).

Most of the drilling has been vertical, making it hard for the company to evaluate the near-vertical veins, Taylor says. Now the company has three drill rigs that will evaluate the veins by drilling low-angle holes.

“Some of the veins are significant, with thicknesses over 50 feet (15 metres) and very good zinc-lead-silver grades,” he says. “It is important to evaluate these veins, as they extend to the surface and could have an impact on the early mine plan.”

The other exploration target is Taylor Deeps, a zone discovered earlier this year. Taylor Deeps is interpreted as a mineralized carbonates zone below a sequence of older volcanic rocks and a thrust fault that separates it from current sulphide resources.

The latest batch of assay results from Taylor Deeps include those from hole 435, an angled hole (-82 degrees), which intersected a robust mineralized sulphide interval and extended the zone 457 metres east.

The hole cut 18.6 metres at 16.5%

zinc, 13.8% lead and 9.84 oz. silver per ton, including a 9.5-metre zone that returned 27.3% zinc, 22.4% lead and 14.85 oz. silver per ton.

“We’ve just announced a series of drill holes from this zone that had outstanding grades and have significantly expanded the footprint of the nearly horizontal zone,” Taylor says. “The recent drilling has more than doubled the footprint of the Deeps used to calculate the resource.”

Alex Terentiew, an analyst in Toronto who covers Arizona Mining at BMO Capital Markets, says South32’s backing “gives a strong endorsement by the global diversified miner, reflecting the potential of one of the very few early-stage, large and highly prospective zinc deposits in the world, and provides Arizona Mining with an experienced strategic partner.”

After announcing the deal, Terentiew raised his target price on Arizona Mining to $4 per share from $3.75.

News of the investment sent the junior’s shares up 12.7%, or 24¢, to $2.13 per share.

The junior has traded in a 52week range of $1.08 per share (May 4, 2016) and $3.49 per share (Dec. 7, 2016).

For its part, the investment “continues South32’s strategy of fostering project generation through investing in junior mining and exploration companies, although this is the most cash deployed to date,” says Londonbased analyst Edward Sterck, who covers the company for BMO. Last month, South32 signed an option agreement to form a fifty-fifty joint venture with Trilogy Metals (TSX: TMQ; NYSE: TMQ) on the junior’s Alaskan assets, known collectively as the Upper Kobuk mineral projects.

Last year, South32 signed an option agreement to form a fifty-fifty joint venture with Northern Shield Resources (TSXV: NRN) on the junior’s Huckleberry copper-nickelplatinum group metals project, in the Labrador Trough of northern Quebec. TNM
